BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to a heating cup.

Conventional heating cups using magnetic induction effect to heattobacco material include a magnetic induction coil and a containeraccommodating tobacco material. The magnetic induction coil is fixed onthe container. The container is made of metal.

SUMMARY

The disclosure provides a heating cup, comprising a container, a metalconductor, and at least one hole; the metal conductor is inlaid in thecontainer; the container comprises a bottom wall and the at least onehole is disposed on the bottom wall to allow air and smoke to passthrough; the container is configured to accommodate a tobacco material;the metal conductor is inlaid in the container to produce heat andtransfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material isheated and smoke is produced.

In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises glass and themetal conductor is inlaid in the glass.

In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises a gas passageseparated from the metal conductor.

In a class of this embodiment, a plurality of holes is disposed on thebottom wall and each hole is in the shape of circle, triangle,quadrilateral, or polygon; the bottom wall is a network structure or asieve structure; and each hole communicates with the gas passage.

In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises glass, ceramics,quartz, crystal, mica, jade, or a combination thereof.

In a class of this embodiment, the shape of the container comprisescylinder, square, S-shape, and L-shape.

In a class of this embodiment, the heating cup is used in combinationwith a smoke filter; when in use, the smoke enters the smoke filter, isfiltered by water therein, and flows to an outlet of the smoke filterfor user's inhaling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a heating cup are describedbelow. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended todescribe and not to limit the disclosure.

Tobacco materials refer to tobacco tar, tobacco paste, tobacco leaf andother materials used to produce smoke.

Optionally, the heating cup 1 of the disclosure is made of metalmaterial, or part of the heating cup is made of metal material, or theheating cup is made of glass, ceramics, quartz, crystal, mica, and jadeinlaid with metal material.

In certain embodiments, the heating cup is a one-piece glass structureand can be optionally used in combination with a smoke filter.

As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the heating cup comprises a container 1, a metalconductor 2, and a plurality of holes 3; the metal conductor is inlaidin the container 1. The container comprises a bottom wall and theplurality of holes 3 is disposed on the bottom wall to allow air andsmoke to pass through. The container is configured to accommodate atobacco material. The metal conductor is inlaid in the container toproduce heat and transfer the heat to the container whereby the tobaccomaterial is heated and smoke is produced. The container is made of glassand the metal conductor is inlaid in glass. The container is justillustrative, and can be presented in other forms.

As shown in FIG. 3, the disclosure also provides a smoke filter 4 usedin combination with the heating cup. The smoke filter is justillustrative, and can be presented in other forms to cooperate with theheating cup of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, when in use, the handle 5 of a high frequencyheating device is disposed around the container 1 and matches the metalconductor 2. In the power-on state, the metal conductor produces heatand transfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material isheated and smoke is produced. The air enters the container from the topopening thereof and drives the smoke to pass through the plurality ofholes 3 on the bottom wall of the container. Thereafter, the smokeenters the smoke filter, is filtered by water therein, and flows to theoutlet 4-1 of the smoke filter for user's inhaling.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the heating up according to anotherembodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 6 shows an airflow direction of the heating up of the disclosure.

The following advantages are associated with the heating cup of thedisclosure:

1. The heating cup is independent from a high frequency heating deviceand is connected to the high frequency heating device when in use, sothe produced smoke does not flow to the high frequency heating device,which is environmentally friendly.

2. The container comprises glass and the metal conductor inlaid in theglass, which improves the efficiency of the heat transfer.

3. The container comprises a gas passage separated from the metalconductor. The gas passage allows air and smoke to pass through. Theheating cup is multifunctional.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes andmodifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claimsis to cover all such changes and modifications.

What is claimed is:
 1. A heating cup, comprising a container, a metalconductor, and at least one hole; wherein the metal conductor is inlaidin the container; the container comprises a bottom wall and the at leastone hole is disposed on the bottom wall to allow air and smoke to passthrough; the container is configured to accommodate a tobacco material;the metal conductor is inlaid in the container to produce heat andtransfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material isheated and smoke is produced.
 2. The heating cup of claim 1, wherein thecontainer comprises glass and the metal conductor is inlaid in theglass.
 3. The heating cup of claim 2, wherein the container comprises agas passage separated from the metal conductor.
 4. The heating cup ofclaim 3, wherein a plurality of holes is disposed on the bottom wall andeach hole is in the shape of circle, triangle, quadrilateral, orpolygon; the bottom wall is a network structure or a sieve structure;and each hole communicates with the gas passage.
 5. The heating cup ofclaim 4, wherein the container comprises glass, ceramics, quartz,crystal, mica, jade, or a combination thereof.
 6. The heating cup ofclaim 4, wherein a shape of the container comprises cylinder, square,S-shape, and L-shape.
 7. The heating cup of claim 1, wherein the heatingcup is used in combination with a smoke filter; when in use, the smokeenters the smoke filter, is filtered by water therein, and flows to anoutlet of the smoke filter for user's inhaling.
